How'd you end up like that, anyway?
I fell into a vat of electric eels.
You're kidding.
- I fell into a supercollider. - Gotta be careful where you fall.
There's no loyalty amongst thieves.
It's a lot of dynamite you're dealing with.
Having supervillains explain how they became supervillains
to each other is hilarious.
It's just so funny because it's so ridiculous.
I love the idea of putting a bunch of rogue villains together
and just watching them meet each other and hang out and talk.
Like, it's just... I've never really seen that. [Laughs]
[Watts] It was just thinking about what will be fun to see,
visual combinations that you never thought you would see.
Who are these guys?
How great would it be to see Alfred Molina again?
You'd get to see Willem Dafoe without the mask.
Having Jamie get to come in and make him not blue.
- [Goblin] You make me sick. - [Norman] Leave me alone.
[Goblin] Hiding in the shadows.
- [Green Goblin cackles] - [Foxx] Norman Osborn...
Green Goblin... is just like...
I mean, to see him work. When we're on the set, he...
[mimicking Dafoe] "Gods don't choose."
- We take." - We take.
[Foxx] And you go, "Oh, shit."
And that cackle. [Mimics cackle] I was, like, oh.
I mean, that's real. You know, I forgot I was in the movie.
I'm sitting there with my popcorn like, "This motherfucker's good."
[Garfield] Willem is just fearless,
and Willem doesn't give a flying... whatever.
"I'm doing this."
He's just, like, so unselfconscious as an actor,
just totally free, and that's the dream.
It's one of the most surreal experiences I've ever had in my life.
When he becomes the Goblin, he is terrifying.
And in the rehearsal, he starts doing the laugh,
and he's saying all this different stuff about how much he hates Peter Parker.
And we're doing this fight scene and I just became, like,
a five-year-old kid again, watching him in the theater.
[metallic clunks]
Hello, Peter.
Hi?
Alfred was blown away by the advancement in technology.
When he made Spider-Man 2, his arms were puppets.
He had four or five guys moving him around at a time.
[Foxx] Alfred, you know, as Ock though is just...
To watch him work...
He's so funny.
Once they say "Cut,"
I mean, bro,
the jokes and everything like that is just, like, nonstop.
- Is that "haughty" with a G-H or... - [crew chuckling]
- Yes. - Okay. Got it.
- [Watts] All right. Roll it. - [Foxx] But when he gets into his bag,
and he plays an interesting character to where you feel like he's conflicted.
Like he, out of all of us, seems like,
"Yo, I wanna maybe live a regular life. Go to a club or something."
- [thunder rumbling] - [Electro] What's up, Peter?
How you like the new-new?
[Garfield] Jamie. He's so inventive, he's so creative.
He has the crew laughing constantly, he's a great storyteller,
and he's the complete character.
The sequence where he thinks that Andrew was gonna be Black, like,
that's all just Jamie improvising. That's not written.
- Aw, man. I'm sorry. - Nah, don't apologize.
There's gotta be a Black Spider-Man somewhere out there.
[Holland] And it adds so much humor and so much love and life
that I would work with Jamie Foxx on anything.
Honestly, I love the man so much.
[Foxx] Electro's waiting on something to break,
so he's all, "Let me get in. Let me get mine."
So, that sets the table for something very interesting.
All of those villains in an apartment that Peter takes them to,
that's like smoking a cigarette at the gas station
and pumping the gas, you know?
So, it's an exciting thing.
Oh, my God.
- What have you done? - I liked you better before.
- [grunts] - [shrieks]
[grunting]
- [Dafoe] In this film... - [grunting]
...there's some good, old-fashioned fighting. [Chuckles]
Punching, kicking, to-the-body stuff.
I'm still not admitting
that I'm too long in the tooth to do this stuff,
so I still enjoy doing it.
So, to do this physical stuff was important to me.
He is still in incredible shape. He phoned me up prior to this movie
and was like, "| want to let you know I wanna do as much as possible."
- And he was just a trouper. - [grunting]
He has a pretty intense, high-energy fight scene with Tom.
It's unbelievable to see his dedication
and how hard he worked to bring that same Green Goblin back
that we saw in the first Spider-Man that's just so mean and so violent.
You tried to fix me.
- Now I'm gonna fix you. - [panting]
I was so impressed with him and just his ability
to have that kind of energy during something like that.
[sighs]
I got that Tony Stark shit.
When they showed me the previz of what they were accomplishing...
I mean, it's the spectacle. That type of thing.
He did absolutely phenomenal stuff. You know, up and around on blue screen.
[Foxx] Shooting those was absolutely amazing.
When they put you those strings and fly you around, it's great.
- [screams] - [grunts]
Catch!
[grunting]
Alfred Molina, because he moves around on the legs so much,
we had him in a harness for 90% of the time that he was working with us.
I felt so bad for him.
Every time he saw one of the stunt guys, he was like,
"Oh, no. Have I gotta get back in the harness again?"
Once the tentacles are there,
there's gonna be all this kinetic movement
and things are gonna be smashing.
But if you look at just me, all I'm doing is this...
[Molina grunts, chuckles]
I'm just kind of leaning in.
It's basically like you're hitting him in the face with your elbow.
[Molina] We were doing a huge fight scene with Tom.
He's diving off things, he's doing flips,
he's doing back somersaults,
he's smashing the cars and then doing a roll,
and I'm just kind of going...
[grunts, laughs] ...and such.
[Cottle] I really take my hat off to them.
And it was a very sad day when it was their last day, for sure.
There's so many great actors that have been in these movies,
and to be able to bring them together
and find a way to finish their story lines
maybe in a different way.
They're all sort of the victims of accidents of technological mistakes.
To use that as an entry point to telling a story
about the idea of second chances took a second,
but it... eventually, it all clicked.
[ticking]
